The Car-Free Jamsugyo Bridge Festival, a biannual celebration that attracts over two million visitors, had already established the bridge as a cultural landmark. Yet, SEVENTEEN’s performance elevated it to legendary status. With the Han River as a shimmering backdrop and the iconic Rainbow Fountain illuminating the night, the scene was set for an unforgettable spectacle.

For a decade, SEVENTEEN has been more than just a boy band; they’ve been a cultural phenomenon. From their humble beginnings to selling out stadiums worldwide, their journey is a testament to perseverance and artistry. As they stood on that bridge, it wasn’t just about celebrating the past but also about bridging the gap to the future.
The CARAT Connection
The true magic of SEVENTEEN lies in their bond with their fans, known as CARATs. This performance was not just a show; it was a love letter to a decade of unwavering support. The energy was palpable, the cheers deafening, as fans and idols shared a moment that transcended the physical realm
Beyond the Bridge
This performance was more than a celebration; it was a statement. A statement that SEVENTEEN is not just a part of K-pop history—they are shaping its future. As the final notes echoed over the Han River, one couldn’t help but wonder: what’s next for SEVENTEEN? What boundaries will they push next?
In the end, the Jamsugyo Bridge wasn’t just a venue—it was a symbol. A symbol of a decade of dreams, dedication, and a fandom that continues to defy expectations. As the lights dimmed and the crowd dispersed, the bridge stood silent, holding the echoes of a night that will be remembered for years to come.
